INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
Investment Verdict
Appreciation PlayYield and appreciation often trade off, and at 3131 N Central Ave #5021, Phoenix, AZ, 85012 in Phoenix the bet is firmly on appreciation. Rental yield 4.32%. The 4.32% gross yield on a $546,600 price is below income-first thresholds, but 5%/yr value growth projects $151,016 in equity by year five. Ziffy Mortgage's non-U.S. DSCR mortgage (0.80) finances the acquisition on rental income alone. A larger down payment (30–35%) reduces monthly debt service and tightens the spread. Total projected cumulative return: $93,305.
